The MugwumDS.

The Danvers Mass Mirror, in its issue
OF Aug. 81, pays Its compliments to the
mugwumps in general, and George William
Curtis in particular, in the following vigorous
language:
"Those who urged that something is to be
gained by conciliating the mugwumps, forget
that their Cancellation means the alienation of
thousands of earnest, loyal republicans, who
do not believe that those who sought to de-
stroy the republican party, while pretending
to be its friends. should be again intrusted
with it's condolences they do not believe that
the traitor and the assassin should have a
reward above the loyalist and the patriot.
Let il be RENE mberpd that George William
Curtis sought an election as delegate from the
Empire State to the National Republican
Convention at Chicago in 1884; that he vent
into that convention trusted with power
placed in his hands by the republican party of
New York; instructed to carry out the prin-
ciples and wishes of that party; that he par
ticipated in all the actions of that convention !;
that he voted upon every ballot; that he voted
to make the nomination of James G. Blaine
unanimous: that after the nomination for
President, he helped select the candidate tor
Vice President He never pretended that the
nominees were not the choice of the dele
gates he never contended that the delegates
had not obeved the will of their constituents ;
he never chsrged that the nominations were
not fairly made. And yet he walked out of
the convention of which be had been con-
spcuous part; in which he sought to have
selected the Candidates which he preferred,
and deliberately went over and supported the
party opposed TO every principle and measure
he had pretended to hold dear.
If that is common honesty, then We have
no conception of what honor and integrity
mean. We say deliberately, knowing well
the meaning of our words, that such conduct
in any business transaction of life would be
regarded as the grossest betrayal. as clearest
evidence of dishonor, as absolutely dishonest
To invite such men to walk back into the
republican party, is to ask every honest and
loyal man to walk out of it. No party would
deserve to live nor could live that would pur-
sue such course. A party is but common
partnership; an organization where those who
think alike may act together; its conventions
must be conducted by delegates. A conven-
ton governed by the theory of Mr. Curtis
"hesds win, tails you lose"-may do for
mugwumps, but it will never do for honest
and upright men,"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1887-08-31

| success was at length secured, thousands of
them are chagrined and disguised because
the President has pretended to be better than
his party, and courts the sympathy, advice
and support of those who bitterly condemn
its past, have no purpose for the future in
common with it, and are preaching reform
which it utterly repudiates and abhors.
Again; the mass of his party in many parts
of the country have seen him do in their To-
calities what he has done here in Maine, and
| in Portland, again and again.-ignore their
wishes in filling important offices in order to
crafty some local or others State boss; while
the reform" zealots who worship him were
permitted to add their insult to his injury
and claim for the President that, in these
instances, he had disappointed his party in
the interest of reform.
| Again; while few democrats sympathize
with reform according to Curtis, there are
thousands of honest men in the party who
would prefer that the President should live
up to the spirit and letter of reform in fulfill.
ment of the secret pledge he made to secure
the mugwump vote, than to endeavor to con-
ceal the personal and political motives, which
| have led to so many unfit appointments to
office, by numberless hypocritical professions
of his devotion to reform. They know that
| hypocrisy is common vice; but they also
| KNOW tlHt the eAposeu prdctIlionel VI ny poc-
risy is contemplate in the public eye, and
they share in the public feeling at its exhibit
ton by the President.
| Again there are war democrats, men, and
and the friends of men, who risked their lives,
or whose fathers or sons risked their lives in
defense of the Union. Many of these, while
hesitating to sever their political ties, have
long been uneasy at the possibility of the
domination of their party by the still living
spirit of the rebellion. These men have seen
the President in various ways manifest his
disposition to deliver his party, all saddled
and bridled, to the already booted and spurred
South, all to secure its solid support in the
next nominating convention to negative, if
need be, the possible opposition which may
crop out at the North.
On these, and many other grounds, the
opposition to the President in his own party
is already great and is growing stronger day
by day. 1t may not be sufficiently organized
to show itself in the convention, but it will be
strong enough to be felt at the polls.-Post

extra expense caused by the red tape and
double handling OF the stores was not
taken into account. This will beyond
doubt, in the estimation of those connected
with the department, greatly exceed the
amount saved. The Washington cor.
respondent of the Tribune in writing of the
reform scheme says
The practical effect of creating "Finance
Bureau" by the Secretary's new scheme will
strike business man, and particularly those
connected with the disbursiug of funds under
the Government, as rather like boys play
! Under the laws governing appropriations. all
of them, being made specific, are under the
control of the chiefs of the respective bureaus
to which they pertain. Consequently, all
acquisitions for money must be signed by the
proper chief as the authority under which the

system is delayed by requiring the issue OF

which, under the old system. was FASTENED
| by being performed by the chief whose edu-
cation and experience eminently qualified
him for it. Recently a requisition for a
diver, necessary under the cognizance of one
of the bureaus, was acted upon by the Pay
master General. The bureaus representa-
tive at the yard, as was customary, obtained
a bid from the only diver at the station, and
based his estimate of the cost upon the bid.
The chief, from professional knowledge being
aware hat it was as cheap as the service
could be procured, approved it and trans
mitted the requisitsn to the'' Finance Bureau"
for approval. The 'Paymaster General, after
striking out the estimate and directing that
competition should be invited" approved
the requisition. This is probably fair illus
tration of Mr.. Whitney's business methods. "
This reform however is in keeping with
the other great reforms Of the administra-
ton. 1t is nothing more than Is to be ex-
pected from an officer of the cabinet which
has not exhibited that administrative
capacity which the President had right
to expect" The cabinet is an "experi-
ment" and it is to be inferred by such ex-
hibitions of business methods that the
members are experimenting. 1t may be
that the reason for the failure OF the ad-
ministration to carry out reforms is be-
cause, like Secretary Whitney's reform,
there is nothing practical in the innova-
tons attempted. There is no doubt but
that improvements can be made in all the
methods employed in the various depart
ments, but they should be left to men
more capable than Mr.. Whitney has
proved himself to be in his department,
tor the much talked of reform in the navy
has proved very much the opposite.
